Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Patients with Generalized Joint Laxity
Generalized joint laxity is a genetically determined component of overall joint flexibility. The incidence of joint laxity in the overall population is approximately 5% to 20%, and its prevalence is higher in females. Recently it was noticed that individuals with generalized joint laxity are not only prone to anterior cruciate ligament injuries but also have inferior results after a reconstruct...
متن کاملAnterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knees
The floppy Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sign is a well-established arthroscopic and MRI indicator of Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) insufficiency. We explored the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such cases by retrospectively analyzing the management of a series of five consecutive cases of iatrogenic floppy ACL reconstructions which resulted in fixed posterior drawer. All patients ...
متن کاملAdvances in posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Current advances in posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have led to excellent clinical and functional outcomes. It is helpful to review anatomy, cadaver sectioning studies, biomechanical studies, clinical outcome data, and novel surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, including all-inside reconstructions. Surgeons also should be aware of current controversies ...
متن کاملIn-vitro Study of Knee Laxity following Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a complex soft tissue structure made up of several bands that play unique roles in the stability and kinematics of the knee. Most attention has been paid to the reconstruction of the anterolateral band, but the results of such reconstructions have been inconsistent1. Controversy exists over what graft tension should be used and at what flex...
متن کاملComparison of knee laxity and isokinetic muscle strength in patients with a posterior cruciate ligament injury
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare knee laxity and isokinetic muscle strength in patients with an isolated posterior cruciate ligament injury. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty high school rugby players with a previous posterior cruciate ligament injury and abnormal findings higher than surgical grade I were included. Laxity with 132 N of pressure was measured using Kneelax 3 to assess ...
